Arik Levy

Arik Levy’s designs have been produced by a variety of big names—e15 (SH05 ARIE shelf, pictured below), Zanotta, Council, Living Divani, and Bernhardt Design, to name a few—but the Paris-based, Israeli-born designer is still taken with the thrill of the potential that comes from new partnerships: “The first project together is like a first kiss.  You never know how it tastes until you separate the lips.”
